We need to reach people where they already are, by using modern technology, but more importantly going into the community to libraries, coffee shops, community centres, and other similar places. Any engagement also needs to be continuous, not just when a majorissue forces it.

9. What do you think council has done well this term?

Starting the process of updating the Official Community Plan.
Commissioning and passing the Active Transportation Plan. Holding a
town hall earlier this year, albeit at the demand of residents.

10. What would do you do on council to improve it?

I would work first by putting community engagement first as we work on updating the Official Community Plan, the Active Transportation Plan, and other large projects . Keep a similar community focus when working with regional partners on the CRD sewage treatment plan and BC Transit’s 25 Year plan.
